Sysprep Windows 10 Start Menu search is blank


Hello everyone,

I was following the Tenforums.com Windows 10 Image - Customize in Audit Mode with Sysprep guide, which I found to be an amazing guide.

My goal is to have a Windows 10 Pro x64 sysprep image from the Hyper-V VM, exactly as in the guide.

Anyways I had everything going smooth - I was about to Generalize the image and realized the Start Menu stopped returning results, instead just showing a blank search.

After some frustration and reluctance I went back to the checkpoint at the very beginning (as indicated in the guide). The Start Menu still showed up blank.

Reinstalled the VM in Hyper-V using different names and different VHD files but all resulted in the same error.

Created the VM in VMware Workstation 12 and and started the Sysprep process with Windows 10 in VMware. The Start Menu is still blank.

Uninstalled Hyper-V and reinstalled Hyper-V but that didn't help.

I've done the basic troubleshooting steps too:

• Reboot system (Host and Guest systems multiple times)
• Verified service Windows Search is running (I restarted the service as well)
• Rebuilt Index
• Restarted Cortana and Windows Explorer
• Re-registered Cortana

I've tried Googling my heart out to no avail. Couldn't even find an image with a similar problem. I've attached a snippet of the issue below.

Note: This is only in Audit Mode. When I let the Windows install complete, the Start Menu works again. I'll try completing the imaging process and load the Sysprep image and see if the Start Menu functionality comes back unless someone has a better idea or similar experience?

 

Windows 10 Start Menu Search Blank

I am having issues with my windows 10 search function in the start menu only. I have browsed online and tried the following things...

• PowerShell command
• running DISM.exe
• restarting Windows Explorer
• restarting Windows Search Service
• Checking that Search Service starts automatically
• restarting the computer
• Ending Cortana task to force it to restart
• Rebuilding Index database
• Moving Index database to a different folder (tried same drive and different drive)

Windows search still works fine in Windows Explorer, I can still search all the files on my PC from there, however it doesn't work only on the start menu. As soon as I try to search for anything it just shows a blank box where the results used to show. Doesn't
show an error or a can't find message, just blank space. It is extremely frustrating, as I was typing this I went to search for stuff and was reminded very quickly that it wasn't working........ So Microsoft, don't tell me to search something to fix this,
I can't!

I am running Windows 10 Pro v1803 Build 17134.48

Don't know if this helps anything but I have an M.2 SSD (OS) paired with a mechanical HDD (Data)

 

IE11 Google Toolbar no auto search suggestions, no search history?


Since the last Win 10 update my Google Toolbar won't list any search suggestions as I type and there is no search history listed. The Google tool bar will allow a search, but after a few searches no search history shows and no "clear search" button is listed either.

I have turnd on "Suggest searches as you type", and "store search histroy on my computer" in the Google Toolbar options.

Any suggestions to fix this?
